It is a pretty rugged wilderness and is nothing like the rest of the UK. The highlands are as geographically north as south Alaska, which subjects the landscape (and people) to some fierce weather. That makes for some jaw dropping mountains (and rough faces :lol ). The best of them are from 15 miles north of Fort William, mountains that is. If that is what you are really after, up the West coast is the way for you. You can PM me if you like, and let me know when you are thinking of doing it and I can tag along for an hour or two and show you a few roads.
Not quite sure what to do with my early mid-life crisis. Ideas on a post card to P.O.BOX 150...
